Title: Windscreen cleaner?
Post by: bobbarley on 10 September 2008, 20:50

Looks like my windscreen has some oily crap on it or something, and lots of insects etc.  Anyone know of anything specially suited to cleaning just windscreens, or will anything do?

I cleaned the car last week, but the oilt residue on the right hand side won't shift.

any good window cleaner should do but would advise not to get it on the paint, try truck wash on a cloth rub all over the screen and do your wiper blades aswell then rinse off well with some warm water.
